The purpose of this Letter to Commission (L TC) is to inform the Mayor and the Commission of a
motion made by the Human Rights Committee at their meeting on October 5, 2020.
MOTION: At the October 5, 2020 Human Rights Committee meeting, the committee
passed a motion recommending to the Mayor and City Commission that the recurring
expenditure enhancement of $21,000 for "Domestic Violence Emergency Shelter'',
refined during the September 15, 2019 Commission meeting, be broadened to include
any direct services, not just shelter or housing, for any victim of a crime.
The Human Rights Committee encourages the Miami Beach Commission to allocate the
necessary funding to encompass victims of all crimes and all needs. The recurring
